EV Charger Shortage Worsens as Enel X Shutdown Leaves Thousands Stranded

Doug McIntyre of Climate Crisis reports that Enel X, a major EV charging provider in the U.S. and Canada, abruptly ceased operations, rendering over 10,000 charging stations non-functional. This unexpected shutdown fuels concerns about EV reliability, as Tesla’s extensive network isn’t accessible to all EV owners and these supplemental chargers provided essential coverage. For some, this reliability issue solidifies their preference for traditional gas-powered vehicles, especially as gas prices remain relatively low.
